Light Orange Ginger Vinaigrette
Homemade salad dressings are my favorite. They are so much better than the store-bought versions and far healthier. You get to control what goes into them and you skip out on all the preservatives. From Chipotle Lime Southwest Dressing to Citrus Poppy Seed Dressing, the possibilities are endless. This Light Orange Ginger Vinaigrette is particularly refreshing and perfect for an Asian inspired wrap or salad.
A mixture of five simple ingredients including orange juice, olive oil, honey, rice wine vinegar and fresh ground ginger come together to make this Light Orange Ginger Vinaigrette in a matter of minutes. Give it a quick blend with an immersion blender and you have a smooth and refreshing salad dressing that adds a burst of flavor to any salad or wrap.
I love tossing together a simple salad with some fresh romaine lettuce, crunchy wontons, carrots, chicken and mandarin oranges with this Light Orange Ginger Vinaigrette. Oranges are a great way to add fruit to your salad in the middle of winter when most fruits aren’t in their prime. Salads can be fresh and flavorful all year round!

This was delicious!! I’m super pleased.
I am wondering though how many calories are in this dressing? I cant seem to find it.
Susan Skilton says
This orange ginger vinaigrette looks delicious-maybe I’m crazy but I didn’t see how much ginger? Fresh ginger, grated?
I’m thinking of trying this with the Meyer lemons I have…
Thank you
